I really don't know why Steam would not apply the patch, if the released version was the same too, as I can apply it manually as usual (no need to modify the files).
It seems a Steam bug, not a RUS-Gold bug, so you should not find correct support here, only ask Gabe.

By what it seems, Mamontov here is two-star and has less seniority(the lower the more senior a general is) than Denisov(even though he is commanding a division while Denisov is in charge of nothing). As a result he takes over the corps quite naturally due to seniority, no bug here.

Any chance to get this 1.01c patch onto Steam and the game updated as my version of Gold is still at 1.01? I downloaded this patch, but it won't install manually because the install program says that I don't have RUS Gold installed.

To verify, I reinstalled my game:
. uninstalled it
. cleaning the whole pc with CCleaner
. erase all the remaining folder
. clean again with CCleaner
. use installer 1.0: entered key code
. use patch 1.01c
. launch the game: re-renter key code
and there was no problem.
However the installed patch tells the game is 1.01, not 1.01c,
but the patch did installed good.

I use the box version of the game bought from Ageod store, not Steam.
I don't think the installers are different, it should be a Steam problem. So ask Gabbe.

Hi Candinho,I think that's working as intended. The symbol you see when the general is merged into a unit is actually the division symbol, not the general's star. I know that can be confusing, but if you want to see how many stars a general has, you need to "expand" the division's display by hovering the mouse over it (right on top of the division symbol, if I remember correctly).

Before mini patch I think Red Army should be bigger in numbers and have more regular type of infantry build pool in later years other than concripts brigade pool. Just opinion, others could have different opinion.
